Powering data centers and manufacturing facilities
Power availability is the critical yet often invisible determining factor in viability of data centers and technology manufacturing facilities. With challenges to accessibility and affordability of energy, building on-site substations gives our clients more control, flexibility, and resiliency. Black & Veatch deploys both physical and digital infrastructure for air-insulated substations, gas-insulated substations, substation upgrades and automation.
